2006 Boddington 50K
| | Overall score | | 40% | | Would you do it again? | | No | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 40% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 20% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 20% |
In short: Poor, given that the organisers have a lot of experience.
In full: Lap counting still an issue - I had been warned - counted my own laps - though runners I had lapped finished in front of me ?
Momentos - unless you made a point of going inside the buildings and asking - you would not have received your finishers momento - these need to be handed out on the finish line
just like almost every other event ?
Organisers had good intentions - need to improve.
The start is far too late for runnere like myself who have a long (200 miles) to travel home with work the following day.

of finishing this terrific marathon.
So well organised - even a swim and a meal at the finish included in the entry fee !

2006 Virgin London Marathon

In short: PB ? Yes - if you were up front
In full: Too crowded for a PB - too many stop start bottlenecks - great crowds - great drinks
- I also noticed a lot of the clocks were way out - one showed 4 hrs 34 mins - but I still finished in under 4 hours...why not urinals for the men on the course - queues were too long to wait ........
